‘The Good (& Bad) Fairies of Nottingham’ at Steamer No. 10

Steamer No.10’s mission is to introduce children to the arts and help them develop their interests and talents. Creative Arts at Steamer Ten – C.A.S.T., our theatre arts school, has been rehearsing “The Good (& Bad) Fairies of Nottingham” for the past three months.

King Richard is played by Alec Devaprased; Guard is Michael Lenieux. (Steamer No. 10)

All of the roles are performed by the 20 students aged 8 to 16, it is directed by Suzie Dunn and written by Ric Chesser.

Normally a show about Robin Hood would include the title character, his nemesis the Earl and the Sheriff of Nottingham, as well as Robin’s love interest, Maid Marion, and of course the Merry Men.

In our interpretation, we have all of the aforementioned characters as well as the Fairy Queen, her court, some trouble-making fairies, and of course the Trolls – the latter are all members in good standing with the Union of Magical and Mythical Apparitions (U-MaMa).

The show uses the set from our Rumpelstiltskin show (periaktoi that have a forest side, castle side and a castle doorway) and all set changes are carried out by our unionized stage-hands, the Trolls.

As the show was refined and developed in rehearsal, the students also added several musical and dance numbers they created themselves.

The show has a running time of about 90 minutes, plus an intermission. Performances will be held as follows: June 4, 5 at 7 p.m.; June 5, 6 at 2 p.m.
